Worked out very well for me and the arrangements are whatever you and the bitch owner want them to be. The first bitch I leased actually went back to the owner after being bred and the owner whelped the litter and raised the puppies through six weeks. The bitch was strictly used to being a kennel dog and would not have been comfortable in my setup. I paid a lease fee plus expenses, we split the litter. It IS a huge responsibility and I would just say get everything agreed to ahead of time. Another option is co-owning and while some will say they have not had a good experience, that too has worked out beautifully....

I'd like to get a litter from this really great Grand Champion that's close to me but I have nothing to take to him myself. Hence looking into leasing a bitch. I can provide good solid references from several well respected and well known people, it's just a matter of figuring out this process and finding the right girl.
